A widescale investigation of the attitudes towards generative artificial intelligence (AI) in news production and steps being undertaken by Australian newsrooms to prepare for its possible deployment.

This research project is the result of a partnership between the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Centre for Media Transition. The project’s aim is to explore the ways in which journalists navigate the often-treacherous terrain of ethics in conflict zones.
